Retested 2 nd time and computer again shut off at 75!!!!!! Please Pray for me.

Hi friends,

To tell you a little about me. I tested the first time for the NCLEX in Mar of 2008. I have to say,I took the Kaplan but did not study as much and ended up failing with 75 questions. I was so bumed and decided that I have come this far and will retest again but this time I prepared for 3 months. Took the Kaplan again...for free, did all of their questions (q bank, q trainer and even their secure exam...only one released by NCLEX way back in 1990's). I scored around 56% overall in q bank and my q trainer in 6- 64% and

trainer 7- 67%. This time I felt more confident and was ready to retest again.

I retested on June 5th...just yesterday. I went in thinking positive, prayed a lot and just left it up to god. My exam consisted of several questions. 15 meds (most of them were familiar...but meds were my weakness), 10 SATA, and tons of priority, no OB, No delegation, few med surg and may be 1-2 infection control. I was once again upset because my computer again shut off at 75 and I wanted more questions. I am very worried b/c my SATA's and meds were not unfamiliar topics but I know I might have gotten the meds incorrect. Does this mean I failed since they were common meds? SOmeone please give me an answer. I will get my results on Sat. Please keep me in ur prayers.

Thank You.:bluecry1:

There is not one way that anyone of us can second guess how you did on the exam. The questions that you received on this exam had nothing to do with how you did on your previous attempt.

You are going to need to wait until your results are available tomorrow, best of luck to you.

Hi Friends,

Just wanted to give a quick update in regards to my NCLEX Exam. Yes I passed!!!!:yeah::yeah:. I first wanna thank God cause I did a lot of praying before, during and after my exam. And I truly believe in the higher power looking out for me.

It is still a shock that I passed with 75 quest having failed with 75 before. Anyways I just want to thank you guys for all your prayers for me.

For those of you who are waiting to take this exam or are retesting having failed before......Please DO NOT be discouraged. I have been in your shoes and I know how you feel. If I can do it, so can you.

To tell you a little abour my exam, I had a total of 75 quest. 20 meds (my weakest area), 10 SATA, 3 infection control and the rest were Med surg and priority.

As stated by several people, I also truly felt as if I failed after sitting for the NCLEX. I became obessed and paranoid after i got home and started looking for the right answers to some of the questions I had and figured that I had failed. In addition I kept on logging on to allnurses forum to see what was considered difficult questions and how many retested and failed again with 75. And believe me I know I had more than a few wrong even on the easy ones.

I trult believe hard work does pay off. This time I prepared only using Kaplan complete along with the classs. I studied the book twice, did all their questions and saw their online videos (highly recommend) twice.

After that I felt comfortable with the info except for the meds. And guess what, I ended up with 20 meds on my NCLEX, 3/4 of which I did not know.

So please keep your head up and trust your instincts. You can do this.

As silly as this may sound I also started writing my name along with RN, BSN after it before I retested for the NCLEX the 2nd time. This motivated and boosted my self esteem to not give up. My father always says....Dont ride a bull by its tail, hold on to the horn. So with that said......Please dont loose hope. You are almost there.

Once again I wish you all the very best

Sincerely,

Anna, RN, BSN
